I had a great time at the cookery demo at Crisdare Home Accessories shop in Ennis last Friday. I did this as a promotion for the Burren Slow Food Festival taking place next weekend in Lisdoonvarna. I cooked 3 recipes from Coming Home To Cook. About 25 people attended who asked lots of questions about vegetarian foods and cooking, tasted and loved the samples bought my book and were informed of the Festival, which is going to be great craic! Before the demo I was a guest on the Morning Show on Clare FM. After that I shopped at the Ennis Farmers Market for the herbs I used in the dishes. I bought gorgeous organic rosemary,tarragon, thyme, marjoram, fennel and flat parsley. It’s always amazing how much better everything tastes with the right combination of herbs. My next post will be on 2 recipes I made highlighting these flavors. Stay tuned!
